Slingball 2022 “MJN Help Fight MS” was another smashing success! Thank you to all who supported the cause.
Congratulations to new SLING Champion Ronan Eggleston and Mini Marilyn Champion Emerson “Goose” Meyer.
To the entire Team Sling… a sincere thank you!. The winner of the Adult Slingball Tourney division was long-time player Ronan Eggleston out of Vancouver, WA. He defeated last year’s champion Jace Chadez (from Idaho) in the finals. 3rd place went to OSU grad Mitch Scanlan and 4th to Kevin Grant from Portland. Plus check out this awesome article by legendary sportswriter Kerry Eggers.
In the kids mini Marilyn division the winner went to female champion Emerson “Goose” Meyer defeating Henry Gotsch followed by Kash Linder and Logan Wald respectively. The Pearce Lutz kids sportsmanship award went to Maylee Astorquia. Lutz passed away in a motorcycle accident, but his award lives on as he always demonstrated sportsmanship and kindness.
Special thanks go to Tillamook County and Oregon State Parks as well as the many businesses of Pacific City who donated. And of course the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Portland and MS Society of OR. Our mom Marilyn J. Neu was all about having fun, being good to others, and paying it forward. The weather turned out perfect and instead of rain gear, it was sunblock! With everyone’s help, we were able to raise $14,000 dollars to put towards the fight against MS!
The Neu Bros…and family
